Rainbow Quest hits Brooklyn Bridge

At about 10:30 pm, the evening of November 7, 2014, the 590 foot cargo ship RAINBOW QUEST tallest mast clipped the bottom of the Brooklyn Bridge bridge linking Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Coast Guard spokeswoman Ali Flockerzi said the Metropolitan Transportation Authority had already scheduled a routine closure of the bridge late Friday and inspected the span when it was closed. She said there was no damage to the bridge. No injuries were reported.
